AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

This charming footstool combines classic elegance with clever engineering. Resting on four curved feet characteristic of the Louis XV style, it is distinguished by its padded and adjustable seat thanks to a metal rack-and-pinion mechanism. This system allows adjusting the reclining angle for optimal ergonomic comfort during reading or relaxing.
• Materials: Solid wood frame (probably beech or walnut) with a beautiful warm patina.
• Seat: Upholstered in a sturdy geometric-patterned Jacquard fabric (ochre, red, and brown tones), in excellent condition.
• Design: Cabriole legs with a delicately carved crosspiece.
• Condition: Very good overall. The adjustment mechanism works perfectly. The wood shows some natural signs of wear that add to its vintage authenticity.
